Boston has shown of late that her women
are not behind the men in their enthusiasm
for out of door pleasures, and it is agreeable
to note how much benefit as well Us genuine
pleasure the lady riders after the bcagles i'll
the Beverly hunts have got from the sport
this fall. Some of the prettiest riding was
by the young matrons. Fearless, graceful
and daring are these fine riders. and, consd-
ering how little chance the New England
climate gives them, it is altogether surprising
that they ride so well. The sparkle i'll the
eye, the glow of health in the cheek, both
bespeak the value of the graceful and health
full exercise. The excitement of jumping
pasture bars and fences only lends an added
zest to the fun. No more becoming costume
is known in these days in which to set OF tho
grace and refinement of feminine beauty
than the riding habit, and wonder it is that
more beautiful women are not painted i'll it.
Our aunts and grancimothers remember the
time when it was every society lady's nmbi
ton to he painted i'll tho graceful attitude of
playing on the harp. Why not now the
cqucstrieilne rtrait!-BoSton Post.

Plenty Of Hot Water.

One of the most important and most ne
elected parts of the kitchen duties is tho
keeping plenty OF hot water on the stove.
Very few cooks can he taush: to rcl,le'!4sh a

beckoned her daughter to bend over Ecr TO

for ridicule to housewives. Most Of t!.cnl
have been in extremitics where her course
seemed to them entirely natural. To be in
hurry for the cupful of boiling water that is
needed for certain dish only To fad the
kettle dry, is a tax upon the patience that is
hard to meet Insisting that the kettle must
never be placed on the stove unless filed,
and examination into the matter on ever,

for the trouble.-Christine Terhnnc Herl.icli

Mistakes of Fashion.

One of the great mistakes Of tho prcsen;
day is the paucity of undertaking that
women of fashion indulge in: il is laying the
seeds of many illnesses. Some have doiTcl
petticoats OF any kind, and are content with
combinations and dresses. 1t is neither seem
ly nor good for health. Running into cx-
trenles would seem to he a characteristic of
womankind. Some years ago they wcro
ovcrweightcd with clothing, which, coming
mostly from the hips, was in cvory way
leleterious. Now they run 50 much INTO tho
contrary extreme that unless the folly is
nipped in the bud, diseases of the lungs,
rheumatism and a long train Of evils will run
rampant. The disciples of woolen clothing
would have nothing else worn; but some
capital elastic vests have been brought out in
thread which are quite worth thinking about.

Etiquette of the Napkin.

y napkin should never lie put on tl,ctahlc a
second time until it has been rewas.ci: there
fore napkin rings should be abandoned or re
lcgateI to the nursery tea table.
AT a fashionable meal the guest does not
fold his napkin. At a social tea or breakfast
he may do so if the hostess set the example,
but there is no absolute law governing that
branch of the subject.
Never fasten your napkin around your
neck: lay it across your knee convenient to
the hand and lift one corner only to wipe the
mouth. Men who wear mustachc are per-
mitted to saw" the mouth with the napkin,
as if it were bearing rein, but for ladies this
would look too masculine. Nothing is more
unpleasant than damp napkin. Never al
